[ 0003 ]

Day 2 of our creature-feature special! Yesterday we had pitbulls, today we have... ~~mini-cthulhus~~ cuttlefish and squid.

Bigfin reef squid (wiki)

Slender Inshore Squid (wiki)

And lastly...

Meet the Eresus spider genus! They're from the family of velvet spiders and more commonly known as Ladybird spiders. I think it should be pretty obvious why.
